Despite declaring himself bankrupt three days after he was ordered to pay Lavonia Leviston $5 million,50 Cent has been ordered to pay another $2 million in punitive damages to the mother of Rick Ross’ baby.
A jury determined the rapper had intentionally acquired an X-rated video she made with her boyfriend, added himself as a crude commentator and posted it online without her permission to embarrass his rap rival Rick Ross, who fathered a child with the woman.
In a fresh blow, the 40-year-old star has been told he needs to pay a further sum.
Levonia was originally seeking $15million in damages.
